Monday - Bloody - Monday : Voom's D-Day in less than 48 hours

[Sean Mota]

Extra! Extra! Extra!

The showdown will be in less than 48 hrs. The stage has been prepared. And so this my therapy song while waiting for an answer. Do you have one?

Yes...

I can't believe the news today
Oh, I can't close my eyes
And make it go away
How long...
How long must we sing this song?
How long? How long...
'cause tonight...we can be as one
Tonight...

Broken websites that I cannot visit
Press Releases that are conflicting
But I won't quit the battle call
It puts my back up
Puts my back up against the wall

Monday, Bloody Monday
Monday, Bloody Monday
Monday, Bloody Monday

And the battle's just begun
There's so much, but tell me who has won
Rainbow 1 is within our hearts
And will be Echostar be
Torn apart

Monday, Bloody Monday
Monday, Bloody Monday

How long...
How long must we sing this song?
How long? How long...
'cause tonight...we can be as one
Tonight...tonight...

Monday, Bloody Monday
Monday, Bloody Monday

Wipe the tears from your eyes
Wipe your tears away
Oh, wipe your tears away
Oh, wipe your tears away
(Monday, Bloody Monday)
Oh, wipe your HDTV shot eyes
(Monday, Bloody Monday)


Monday, Bloody Monday (Monday, Bloody Monday)
Monday, Bloody Monday (Monday, Bloody Monday)

And if it's true we are immune
When fact is fiction and TV reality
And today the Voomers cry
We eat and drink while tomorrow will know

(Monday, Bloody Monday)
​

my outlook is much better:

Monday Monday so good to me
Monday mornin' it was all I hoped it would be
Oh Monday mornin' Monday mornin' couldn't guarantee
That Monday evenin' you would still be here with me
Monday Monday can't trust that day
Monday Monday sometimes it just turns out that way
Oh Monday mornin' you gave me no warnin' of what was to be
Oh Monday Monday how could you leave and not take me
Every other day every other day
Every other day of the week is fine yeah
But whenever Monday comes but whenever Monday comes
A you can find me cryin' all of the time
Monday Monday so good to me
Monday mornin' it was all I hoped it would be
But Monday mornin' Monday mornin' couldn't guarantee
That Monday evenin' you would still be here with me
Every other day every other day
Every other day of the week is fine yeah
But whenever Monday comes but whenever Monday comes
A you can find me cryin' all of the time
Monday Monday can't trust that day
Monday Monday it just turns out that way
Oh Monday Monday won't go away
Monday Monday it's here to stay
Oh Monday Monday
Oh Monday Monday

Sean, that's funny and appropriate, however, shouldn't that be "showdown" and not "shutdown". I hope.......

 

[Sean Mota]

the Silence of the lambs Sean

oops...

 

[Sean Mota]

Sean, that's funny and appropriate, however, shouldn't that be "showdown" and not "shutdown". I hope.......

oops... I was hoping that no one caught that one. I corrected it.

 

[Ty2083]

Never mind.....LOL

 

[James Long]

And will be Echostar be
Torn apart​

Monday doesn't have anything to do with Echostar's survival. So no, Echostar won't be torn apart. I hope that Voom won't be either. But mostly, I hope that last week's on again off again what in the world is going on website off website on website off and eventually back on confusion doesn't stretch into Tuesday.

Awwwwwwwww...c'mon JL! Watching some of the posters here try and keep up with that was some of the best entertainment involving this whole saga yet!
"It's UP"
"It's DOWN"
"No...the OTHER one's UP"
"I just checked. It's DOWN"
"Which ONE?"
"Both"
"No...6:43:17:03a.m. it's UP"
"I just got off the phone with a CSR who said..."

Somewhere over the Rainbow DBS,
I'll find HD nirvana and it will still cost less
Somewhere over the Rainbow LLC,
there's an operator who can answer me.
I hope we're bought by Echostar
and I can put this saga far behind me.
My wife debates the cable box
and wishes I would drop like rocks
this Voom which binds me.
Somewhere over the Rainbow DBS,
Dolans fight for control and
it's all a big big mess.

Monday Monday so good to me

The Mommas and the Papas would be proud of you. Actually, I once spoke to the guy that wrote that song for them. What a trip. Actually he was on a "trip" (if you know what I mean) when he wrote it. Ahh the '70's.

 

[gutter]

Sean...help me. What is the music for that song from?

 

[hbk409]

Sean...help me. What is the music for that song from?

[Jamey K]

Six o’clock already
I was just in the middle of a dream
I was watchin’ valentino
On a 52 inch screen

But I can’t be late
’cause then I guess I just won’t get paid
These are the days
When you wish the Voom deal was already made

It’s just another manic monday
I wish it was sunday
’cause that’s my funday
My I don’t have to runday
It’s just another manic monday

Have to catch an early train
Got to be to work by nine
And if I had an air-o-plane
I still couldn’t make it on time

’cause it takes me so long
Just to figure out what I’m gonna watch
Blame it on the Jimmy D
Cuz I'm not able to turn Rave up another notch

All of the nights
Why did my provider have to pick last night
To shut down
Doesn’t it matter
That I have to watch my locals
That antenna is down

 

[Sean Mota]

Actually Sunday Bloody Sunday U2

 

[hbk409]

Actually Sunday Bloody Sunday U2

oops my bad, but thats what you were going for right?

 

[Sean Mota]

yeah..

 

[Vicki]

With sincere apologies to Jimmy Buffett

Headin’ up to Cablevision
For the Charles and Jimmy show
I’ve got my wading boots on
Because blood will be flowing before you know
And Charles I hope you know
We don't want to be missin’ VoOm so

Come monday, it’ll be all right
Come monday, we’ll be holding VoOm tight
We've spent too many days in a brown limbo haze
And I just want VoOm back by my side
